Note
The WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function may not work due to abnormal activities of
some network application software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the Internet. For
example, some software sends network packets to the Internet in the background, even when
you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your computer when you are not using it. This
function also may not work with some ISP. So please make sure this function can work properly
when you use this function in the first time, especially your ISP charge you by time used.
